问题     Nowadays, it is a fashion for Chinese young people to celebrate Western festivals, like Christmas, Valentine’s day, etc. While many traditional Chinese festivals are attached less importance to. How do you think of the popularity of Western festivals?
    Write a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:
    The Popularity of Western Festivals
选项
答案 The Popularity of Western Festivals Nowadays, many Western festivals are well celebrated in China. For instance, long before Christmas, plenty of shops, restaurants and hotels have prepared Christmas decorations well. Whereas, some traditional Chinese festivals, like Tomb Sweeping Day, are being ignored by people. The fact is that the Western festivals are celebrated in China quite differently from that in the West. For instance, Christmas in the Western world is mainly a religious festival. Then why have the Western holidays taken root in China? The main reason is that merchants desire to grasp this chance to make money by marketing holiday goods or encouraging extra dining and celebrating activities. From my point of view, the popularity of Western holidays does reflect the success of the economic reform. In China, many people become rich in the course of economic development. However, we should not waste our money on those useless things. Instead of being led by those businessmen, we should take the opportunity to relax and enjoy ourselves. Bear the idea in our mind that festivals do not mean extravagance but happiness.
解析     本题属于自由发挥型题目，要求考生就西方节日在中国逐渐流行的现象加以分析。考生在构思时，不必仅仅局限于用对比法论证东西方节日之间的差异，而可以采取多种论证方式相结合的手法。因此，可以从以下几个方面着手：
    简述现象：西方节日从初期的为国人所接受，到如今渗透到国人的生活领域，特别是消费领域的现象不容忽视。然而，仔细探究就会发现，国人能想到的西方节日无非就是圣诞节、情人节，庆祝方式也仅限于聚餐、购物等，很少有人真正探究这些节日的含义和庆祝目的。
    阐释影响：1．西方节日的逐渐盛行使国人开始担忧其是否会影响中国传统节日的地位和影响力；2．国内只引进了西方节日的形式，却遗漏了其最重要的内在含义，因此，国人庆祝西方节日的做法毫无意义可言；3．西方节日在中国的流行不仅表明了文化的交融，而且也为我国经济发展带来了很大商机，许多商人开始利用西方节日拓展市场。
    提出建议：1．国内民众不应排斥也无须吹捧西方节日，而应当持理性的态度，认清楚过节时，我们需要的是休息和娱乐，而不是消费；2．国人可以借此机会学习和了解西方文化；3．中国传统节日承载我国几千年的文化传统，应当予以重视。
    范文融合了现象简述、影响阐释中的1、2、3和建议中的1进行写作。
